American venture capitalist Tim Draper issued a warning on social media that scammers are attempting to con crypto users using an artificial intelligence (AI) voice generator.
In an Oct. 19 post on X (formerly Twitter), Draper warned his roughly 254,000 followers to be mindful of “thieves” using AI to create an approximation of his voice. According to the venture capitalist, “AI is getting smarter” as evidenced by followers seemingly reporting Draper tried to get them to send cryptocurrency.
